MRP / Trib. Parker cleaning a bloke up in the magoos

[TheWeapon]

Swans whinging about this shouldn’t have gone so hard after Peter Wright, the precedent has now been set. Funny how karma works

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Also a bit different when it's just the B league and not much at stake. Wright did it when his coach instructed him to with the Essendon edge crap.

Settle down lol, Peter Wright isn't capable of that.
He just turned late as he was afraid of the contact.
Unlike Parker the sniper.

No you do understand - you just don’t want to because you are ‘integrity deficient’

Yours is the argument of a sad purist. Someone who doesn’t accept accidents happen.

You were burning witches 400 years ago. Enjoy your reputation.

accidents happen, but he said he'd done it 100 times, it was an intentional action to bump. afl said at the start of the season that players who elect to bump will be punished.

As of next season, Maynard's bump would be ruled as "careless conduct as part of a rough conduct charge unless players are shown to be "adopting a body position that minimises the force of the contact", according to the Herald Sun.

this could be read as >electing to bump means that you need to minimise the force on the person who're in contact with< or: make sure you don't break a blokes cheekbone or concuss him.

someone got injured this time. actions have consequences. i was taught that when i knocked a vase off a table when i was 5 years old, sorry that you're learning it this late in life.

he chose to do it. he can live with the consequences.

 

[boncer34]

No, he said he was probably more than 10 metres from the ball, using the umpire as the reference point from Parker. There's nothing that refers to or accounts for depth. God damn, man, just admit that saying the ball was definitely more 10 metres away at the point of contact was a whiff and move on.

Oh dear. He says the ball is in front of the umpire. Ergo distance from umpire to ball is the 3rd reference point.

You know just coz you say something it doesn't change his post right?

 

[SuperMal]

Accepted -

1- Parker almost stationary at POC
2- Player at no time saw Parker before contact
3 - Parker performed mo ‘illegal’ action such as an elbow or firearm
4. - Player Parker accepts the wording of the charge - CARELESS - Severe and High


Lets enjoy the appeal.

A shepherd is NOT a bump…its a block….but hood luck with that.

Okay, assuming you're correct and he was accounting for depth despite not actually making any reference to it, what distance between the ball and umpire would it be to take a distance that is about 5 metres straight line to more than double that?

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Man can “slow walk” for the next 6 weeks.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Based on the arguments, pretty clear 6 week suspension for mind and I say that being a fan of Luke Parker

Off the top of my head about 8m. Is this where you tell me you can see depth in the photo?

 

[cobra land]

You’re a waste of space - go back to sticking nasty notes on cars in your street.

Gee you've taken the decision really well, very mature... good stuff, perhaps Parker can get you to argue his point at the appeals tribunal ?

 

[Chaisa]

I don't disagree that he deserves a whack, but I do think 6 feels on the harsher end of the scale. Like Webster got 7 and this I don't think was on the same level as that.

 

[Some Idiot]

I'd split the middle and make it 5 weeks but I'm not sure the tribunal works that way

 

[jannissary]

A shepherd is NOT a bump…its a block….but hood luck with that.

i know the footage is pretty grainy but to me it looked like a bump, i don't know how many shepards get made by leading with your shoulder and elbow tucked, usually you aim to prevent them running around you by holding your arms out wide (kind of like a scarecrow).


like this

or take this one (from wikipedia)


notice how the carlton player is doing his best to prevent the opposition player from getting to harry mckay? using both arms, hands to try his best to impede him in his goal to get the ball of mckay?

many of the photos and great sheperds rarely involve lining someone unsuspecting up for a bump sheperd

 

[yodellinhank]

3 - Parker performed mo ‘illegal’ action such as an elbow or firearm

So you'd concede it would warrant suspension if Parker had gone last boyscout on him?

 

[.Shotties.]

Off the top of my head about 8m.

No, that wouldn't make the ball more than 10 metres away from the ball.

Is this where you tell me you can see depth in the photo?

No, it's where I tell you the ball clearly passed close by Parker and clearly didn't deviate enough to bring the distance to over 10 metres.

Again, even accounting for depth, there is no possibility that ball is more than 10 metres away from Parker. The ball would need to move at almost a right angle. What a weird, inaccurate hill to die on.

 

[10571z]

Bravo AFL finally putting up a proper suspension for a completely avoidable incident that didn’t need to happen.

 

[Daniel B]

Settle down lol, Peter Wright isn't capable of that.

Unlike Parker the sniper.

Sniper? What other instances can you cite to justify that label?

Say what? How far?

 

[QuietB]

Dog act.

Parker stood still while the ball went straight past him and had no other intention other than to line a bloke up.

He is a media darling though - pathetic seeing the footy media talk it down.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

All I've read so far is swans saying 3 to 4 weeks. I saw countless Essendon fans saying Wright shouldn't have been suspended at all.

Also a bit different when it's just the B league and not much at stake. Wright did it when his coach instructed him to with the Essendon edge crap.

Not like we need Parker anyway as we're flying without him.

All I see is a guy whining about concussion only when it suits him. Pitchforks when it’s his player getting hit, oh but it’s the magoos so it doesn’t really count when it’s his player laying a cheap shot.

3-4 weeks for a guy ending up in hospital for facial fractures? Right lol. 6 weeks is bang on what he deserves the sniper

[Great8]

9 previous sanctions according to the tribunal tonight

 

[HirdsTheWord]

The more I watch it, the more mad I get at the Frankston bloke for being totally oblivious to Parker pretty much standing there and giving him a slight bump.

I mean, he's looking straight at him FFS and still manages to get himself wiped out.

The balls well cleared by the time the franskton player is even near Parker. No one would expect to get hit in that moment that far off the ball.

It was a cheap shot no matter how you slice it.

Accepted -

1- Parker almost stationary at POC

2- Player at no time saw Parker before contact

Irrelevant

3 - Parker performed mo ‘illegal’ action such as an elbow or firearm

the illegal action was head high contact from a bump.
